While I am very happy with the Hohner Weekender tremolo harmonica because it is very easy for beginners to learn, I do not recommend this Chrometta 12 for learning because it has a weak and empty sound, very poor response (requires strong blowing and inhalation, especially in the lower and upper registers), progress is very slow, which requires a lot of motivation. Save yourself the nerves and time, pay a little more and buy a Chromonica, CX12 or one of the Seydel models, this is definitely not for beginners, trust me!
